The free (for those paying Ohio income tax) $50 campaign donation

Under Ohio law, Ohio taxpayers can make a total of $50 in donations ($100 for those filing jointly) to candidates to these state offices and receive a tax credit for this amount on their state income tax filing:

Governor

Lieutenant Governor

Secretary of State

Auditor of State

Treasurer of State

Attorney General

Ohio Board of Education

Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court

Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court

Ohio Senate

Ohio House of Representatives

Informed voters, capable of using this tax credit, should take advantage of this to identify candidates with values similar to yours and support their campaign. It does not need to be a candidate you can vote for—for example, it can be a candidate for state representative from another district.
